I really want to love this place. Been a few times. Love the vibe there. Nachos are great! But man... 50/50 on whether they are actually open or serving food. Got turned away twice despite many people in there. Felt like a private party I wasn't invited to. Maybe an invite next time? read more

I'm a person who loves good food and can be very adventurous in my endeavors. I found the store front of the restaurant to be confusing but still I marched on. Menu is on a chalk board but found the server to be a bit of a militant as we were rushed to order. Our server looks super causal. *Clearly the vibe is chill*. Chips and salsa were brought promptly to our table followed shortly after by the food. The food was presented well and hot. The combo of toppings were odd. The taste and quality of the food was not good. Worth mentioning that the wall art was very graphic pictures of penis and vaginia scribbles. I might not have noticed however I watched as a mother and her young children trying to dodge the so called art. The woman's restroom was nasty. Food was uneventful and the wall art was low brow. The vibe was so chill I started to won't about how clean the kitchen really was. I won't be back. read more

Best Fish Tacos I have ever had! Great people! Service is great! They also have a great beverage selection.

I really liked Taco Dans... The staff was super friendly and made me and wifie feel at home. The food recommendations were spot on so we both really liked the food. Their nachos are huge and the tacos were really good. They are who they are really well... meaning this is a hole in the wall taco shop that is hard to find because it is located in,a converted house that caters to college students so if you are looking for fancy this is not it. This is a really cool place with great food and a friendly staff. Worth at try... read more

There's no reason the food needs to be this good, but Dan Andy Barb and the rest of the crew insist on having the best of the best. Some great people and great vibes and oh yeah the margs are fire. This is a laid back spot for cool people so if you are expecting pristine hygiene or lighting fast service go back to Karenville and leave the patrons to chill in peace. read more

Our family loves this place so much. It is cozy, has delicious food, and everyone is unbelievably welcoming and kind. I'll be the first to admit that my family isn't the most traditional, and if you're the type of parent that isn't cool with "artistic expression" mostly in the form of college kids drawing roosters all over the walls this may not be your visual preference for a sit down family dinner. Usually there is an arcade game that is free to play and my kiddos focus on that more than anything. The best part is locals will bring their puppers to hang and usually everyone is fine with you petting them. I would recommend this place to anyone. It's truly a gem, and one of a kind. I wish there were more coast spots like this around CBus! We love you Taco Dans read more

I've never eaten such terrible food. I'm all for supporting local businesses but just can't get behind this place. Imagine taking a cold tortilla, adding shredded cheddar cheese, some cold "taco meat" with absolutely no flavor, and then adding some browning shredded lettuce. That's what we got I'd love to say we'll give it another shot, but I just cannot stomach the thought of eating here again. We got it to go and ended up throwing all of our food away after a few bites. They seemed less than helpful service-wise when we picked it up. So we didn't even want to call and explain. Could it have been an off-night? Possibly. But I'll never find out. read more

It would be awesome if they opened when they say they're going to open. Supposed to be open from 4:00PM to 11:00PM. It's almost 4:30PM and still not open. read more

Stopped in late on a weeknight for a social drink with friends. My first time here, but I LOVED it. Upon walking in, you find a cozy bar area, and a nice pool table. On this particular night, the patio was open and a nice fire was going. We stepped up to the bar to order our drinks and went outside. Several others were sitting by the fire, we asked to join. This place is what I would call a place for regulars, but they made me feel so welcome, it was like I was back home. After good conversation, Taco Dan himself joined the seating around the pit and again great conversation ensued. I did not get the opportunity to try the food, but as welcome as Taco Dan, Barb, and their team made me feel, you can bet I will be back! read more

We are from Southern California where we thought was home of the best fish tacos in the world until we showed up at Taco Dan's in Granville, Ohio. The food is just amazing. It's made from scratch so don't go thinking you can get a quick taco - this is so far from fast food but we'll worth the wait. The best think is that while you wait you are in the company of Dan and Barb - the very friendly owners who work the kitchen and the bar while chatting up the friendly patrons. Dan's is located in what was an old Granville home so it feels like home. The "living room" has a few tables and the "dining room" has a full-sized pool table (no cost to play from what I could tell). If you make it to Granville Village, take a short stroll off of Broadway and enjoy tacos at Taco Dan's! read more

Taco Dans is a very unique Mexican restaurant in Granville. It's located inside a converted old house. There's a thrift shop sharing the space with it. It may be hard to find because it's not obvious to see, except for the small sign that's out front. The menu isn't big but it's fresh and not too expensive, and the staff is so chillax here. I ordered the vegetable tacos. It's usually about $8 which is more than fast food Mexican like shit, but they were a good size and came with lots of fillings. The margaritas are a must try. It didn't take all that long to get the food. The service improves of course when it's not busy. It's not a big space at all, so if you're there when it's busy you may have to be squished next to those at another table. The staff is fairly laid back here. It's kind of a come in and don't give a fuck kind of place. This fits in well with the college town. I would recommend a visit at Taco Dans if you're in Granville. It's probably the best Mexican restaurant in town. The margaritas and tacos are good for the price, and the staff is great as well. read more

Taco Dans - Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Granville, Ohio

Chill spot. Divey, in the sense of relaxing. Pool table at the front, bar is through what might have been the living room, small kitchen with window for ordering Dan's offerings back in that nook. Beer bottles all around showcasing what they have. And a myriad of seating vesicles all about. A college spot? I can see how many consider this eatery a "college hangout", it is in Granville, which is largely supported by Denison University. So, the statement is somewhat expected. I was headed to another establishment for an early dinner, so it was nice to stop by and talk with one of the kitchen crew. I was treated to a sample of TD's guacamole. Ok Gwen, so. What's the big deal! TD's guacamole is made to order. MADE. TO. ORDER. No old brownish tones. No souring tastes. Fresh scooped avocado, fresh squeezed lemon juice, some paprika? amongst other dashes. A little more salt? would have made me a complete follower when the Red Sea parts. Good chips, too. Thin - no one likes the concession stand nacho chips anymore, America! Im starting in kinda late, when it comes to getting to know Granville. However, thus far, I've had positive experience and definitely look forward to coming back to Taco Dan's and trying a few things on their chalkboard menu. read more

Taco Dans - We love the Taco people. Dan, Barb Sam and Abby!!!!! Kick ass drinks so order with caution!! Cool patio and good food. My hometown favorite. - Mexican Near Me - Granville, Ohio

Last time my husband and I were here, we split an order of nachos, and they were out of this world. This place is definitely nothing to look at, but it's certainly interesting. It's in a very old, worn out house. As a matter of fact I think everything in the house is old and worn out. But I think you will feel that just makes the place interesting, if new and fancy is not that important to you. Here's what seems to be important to the people running the place: 1. Making good food (by hand) 2. Being friendly We started out this time with an order of chips and the medium (tomato) salsa. Delicious salsa, with lots of fresh garlic. My husband ordered a chicken chimmichamga and I ordered a chicken quesadilla. Warning... big portions, enough to share. My husband gives his chimmichanga four stars only because he prefers his with queso on top and this didn't come that way. My quesadilla was excellent, with very tender chicken. We will definitely be back! read more

I wish this place was closer to downtown Columbus. Such a neat little "hole in the wall" Mexican restaurant/bar. We went there randomly on a Tuesday so it was empty but I could see it being really cool at night. The food was so good too... I would definitely go back. read more

Great nostalgic college bar with an eclectic decor. Large selection of beer and pitchers of specialty drinks. Friendly family owned restaurant and bar. Great tacos, quesadillas, guacamole and salsa. There are some electronic games and a pool table. Taco Dans is a very fun place. read more

Their quesadillas are the bomb.com. Also, they have an arcade machine that is pretty cool so I'm gonna give it four stars because

Don't turn around and run when you walk in the Front door if you are here for the food. Continue on straight back to the tiny little kitchen where they actually make the tacos and other food. Oh, and they definitely have alcohol. The Margarita looks like lemonade but packs a pleasant kick. Since I wrote this review they have put in a nice small bar and a pool room in place of the second hand shops. read more

A little grimy, but full of good vibes. This is a divey taco spot that offers a full bar, a couple of TVs and a quirky 'used-to-be-a-house' environment. We went with margaritas, which were refreshing and thankfully not made with artificial mixers. The made to order guacamole was pretty tasty and the chips are fried in coconut oil, which was noticeable but not in a bad way. We had biked the path before stopping by and needed a place we could cool off while looking a little rough. This place fit the bill. FYI, there's a bike rack out back. read more

Sam and Abby were awesome. Late night tacos were the best. Will definitely stop here whenever in the area!!!

Great experience here. Staff was awesome. I was there during a slow part of the day so I had the place to myself. Fun, neat spot that exceeded expectations. Would love to come back when it's jumping and have a few craft beers [there are plenty]! read more

I wish we would have ate here!! The menu looked amazing. Instead, we got to meet Barb and have her awesome margaritas. I got the Passion Fruit while my friend had the house. She learned how to make the margs in California!! They are strong, and only $6-$7! I highly recommend! read more

Just got back from taco dans. I just luv this chill bar/restaurant. The Mexican food is killer. I got a chimichangas and it was perfect. Crisp, filled with shredded chicken and salsa. I bought 2 Moscow mules. They were delicious and knock u on your butt strong. These cool hippies dont play. Its an eclectic victorian in Granville with the come sit and have a drink southern hospitality, everyone's fmly kinda place. Come visit, take a seat and visit you'all. I'll see you there. Its a 3 star old victorian with a 5 star atmosphere. read more

Walked in around noon. We were the only patrons. Staff was super nice and helpful. DELICIOUS!!!!! The quesadilla and burrito were amazing. The guacamole was very fresh. Definitely gonna be coming back! read more

Taco Dan's is a very unique place! I almost didn't come in, as it was basically a house with a small sign out front. Boy am I glad that I changed my mind! We got 4 different tacos, and each were delicious. Nice beer selection as well. Very cool, eclectic vibe here. Definitely would return. Heck, I'd make a special trip to Granville just for this place! read more

I'm a big believer in the 3 T's: tacos, tequila and thrifting. But have you ever been to a taco stand inside a thrift store? Yeah, me neither - until now. The concept alone is clearly 5 star worthy. Great prices, great quality, and service with a smile as you watch them make the food right in front of you - which helps throw any initial health code concerns out the window, considering the small seating area is surrounded by fur coats and used novels. Regardless, their home made nachos are perfectly seasoned and every dipping option is DELISH. You must experience this for yourself. Dan, I dig it. read more

Stopped in at Taco Dans on a Tuesday afternoon and we were the only people in the place. It had this feeling like we just missed a cataclysmic party, like an eruption of Mount Vesuvius but with a super chill vibe like, "Yeah, that happened, but how about a couple of taco?" Loved it. Food that should be fresh was fresh and the food that should be hot was hot. It definitely doesn't fit into the quaint downtown Granville scene which makes it the perfect fit for the quaint downtown Granville scene. Taco Dans is exactly what you expect Taco Dans to be. On the restaurant spectrum Taco Dans is pegged on the far side of original. I will be back. read more

Taco Dan's is a unique spot in Granville. Located in a college town, this hole in the wall establishment offers Mexican eats-- in a thrift store. While the food was decent, the "relaxed" attitude of the staff was off-putting & slightly frustrating. An eclectic collage highlighted the business' difficulty obtaining a liquor license, & subsequently were sued by the city of Granville for violating their business license. This "memorabilia" would lead one to think that the proprietors are proud of their blatant defiance of the town of Granville's laws. In summary, if you're into taco shops, in thrift stores, run by hippies- this is the place for you. If not, don't go. The end. read more

I'm in love with Taco Dan's and it's probably because 1. I love quirky weird places like this 2. I love tequila The restaurant is located in a house that also holds a secondhand clothing store called Footloose. The food here has always been good for me and the prices are pretty reasonable and I love the drinks. The price for pitchers is fantastic, but watch out for the margaritas because they are very strong. I would say never have more than 2 glasses cause that's all you're going to need. The people who work Taco Dan's are incredibly nice and are fun to talk to which definitely makes every dining experience more fun than the last. So go check it out! read more

House Margarita is WAY STRONG! Loved it! Deluxe nachos and pork tacos rocked. Fresh ingredients. Tons of beer options. Menu items written on a chalk board. Casual stop. Highly recommended by a local friend and colleague. Totally will go back. Great Friday night stop! read more

Food was poor. It was dry, had no flavor and looked like it had been sitting under a warmer for several minutes. Our visit was at 8 pm or so on a weeknight and the place was dead. Margarita was good. I would drink here but pass on the food. read more

The food is decent, but the service is terrible. I had to ask for water, then I had to ask for the sour cream we ordered, then I had to ask for a knife and fork. Of course we also had to ask for the check as well, or we would still be sitting there. It is laid-back so don't expect great service. It is a house-turned bar/restaurant, and seating is limited. And if you bring kids they may have questions about the profanity and dildo drawings on the walls. read more

Taco Dans is an amazing place to unwind. It is unpretentious. While there, I got to meet Taco Dan in the flesh. He looks like you would expect...which is fantastic! In addition to giving me and my date a fist bump, he explained why "Drink Beer at Taco Dans" is spelled out in beer caps and encased in resin on the bar. The food and drinks are...cheap. And good! If you're looking for a posh, bourgeoisie place...The Pub on Broadway might be your place. Taco Dans delivers great music and a memorable time. read more

My daughter told me about Taco Dans...the menu, the food, the beer, the sevice...in the middle of Granville and that I MUST go. Well, when the big power outage hit the East coast, I found myself and about eight others stranded up at Denison University. We couldn't get off the campus because of drowned power lines and we finally figured out a way into town. It took a while to get there, No other place in Granville was open. So, we took a chance on TDs. It might have been one of the best decisions of my life. Barb must have been reading her Scripture as she welcomed the homeless, the hungry and the thirsty. They hooked up the last "F---ing Generator in Granville" and kept the beer cold and the gas stoves a burning. We had a great meal of Mexican food, various beers and, by far, the most tequila-ed margaritas I have ever tasted. In the midst of trying to figure out how to get back home, TDs and Barb provided us a little taste of compassion and community. I return every year to Denison for a discus camp in June and Taco Dans is going to be my "go to" place from now on. The food and service is excellent and the beer prices are so good, it is dangerous. My highest personal and professional recommendation to TDs!!! read more

There a lot of positive vibes and people. The food and drinks won't disappoint as they are flavorful and satisfying.

Can't get over how much I love this place. It's pretty out of my way living in Columbus, but I typically will get a group of friends together for a night spend thrifting, drinking, and taco-ing. The owners are so friendly and hilarious, even gave us good recommendations for other bars in the neighborhood if we wanted to keep our party going ;). I've got some great thrift finds there any they are always willing to haggle. The remodel looks great and I'm excited to see what It looks like with the upstairs shop re-opened. Food is good. Nothing spectacular, and sometimes a little slow. But this place has so much character that I've never minded. Great beer selection and generally one of the best ways to spend an evening with friends! read more
